Lotus Cruises announced the launch of a new riverboat - the 14-cabin RV Mekong Muse - scheduled for inauguration in October 2021. The ship is planned for cruises on Upper Mekong River in Laos. Mekong Muse will join Lotus Cruises’ current fleet of Mekong Navigator (2014-built) and Mekong Jewel (2020-built), both operating Lower Mekong cruises between Vietnam and Cambodia.
The new ship will offer 10-night upstream and downstream itineraries between Vientiane and Chiang Saen (Laos) as well as 5-night itineraries between Chiang Saen and Luang Prabang or between Vientiane and Luang Prabang and vice versa.
